johnny and the lantern - declan o'rourke lyrics

[intro]
a one!
two!
a one, two!

[verse 1]
on the road outside of delvin
from the shadow of the trees
a man drew out his pistol
and a man fell to his knees
but the man who did the shooting
didn’t stick around
but he went and told the others
where the body could be found

[chorus]
well the saw ripped through his flesh
but to cut the bones was h*ll
though the blade was old and rusty
through the blood you couldn’t tell
rah!

[verse 2]
while they hacked his legs in pieces
someone let out a cry
johnny hold the lantern
johnny hold that up therе boy!
young johnny’s hands were freezing
but he hеld the lantern high!
as the dead man laid there gazing
and the flame danced in his eyes

[chorus]
well the saw ripped through his flesh
but to cut the bones was h*ll
though the blade was old and rusty
through the blood you couldn’t tell
rah!
[verse 3]
as they cursed his broken body
and with the last strokes of the saw
as johnny held the lantern
they cut the hands of law
then they buried all his pieces
and their energy was spent
and the last thing that they buried
were the hands that took the rent!

[chorus]
well the saw ripped through his flesh
but to cut the bones was h*ll
though the blade was old and rusty
through the blood you couldn’t tell
well the saw ripped through his flesh
but to cut the bones was h*ll
though the blade was old and rusty
through the blood you couldn’t tell
rah!

[outro]
on the road outside of delvin
at the ditch just ’round the bend
where the trees mar all the moonlight
that’s where manning met his end
rah!
